Thursday Thirteen #9

Thirteen Things about Tracie

1. We went to the fair last night!! Katarina had so much fun-she rode every ride that they would let her on, even the little roller coasters. I was very proud of her. I will try to post some pictures this weekend.

2. Since we were at the fair, I missed Gilmore Girls and Law & Order SVU.......anyone have a quick recap??

3. Yes, I ate the Chillie Cheese Fries and the Funnel Cakes and the Fried Pickles. Yum.

4. Have you seen this Blingo button in my sidebar?? All you have to do is click on it and sign up.
Then you just use blingo whenever you are going to do a google search. You get the same search results you would be looking for anyway....and you just might win a prize (like $1,000, or movie tickets, or a plasma screen tv, or a car). You are going to google search anyway, so you might as well do it at Blingo where you could win something! And to be honest, if you sign up under me and win something, I win it to, so.....please!!!

5. Have you seen the commercials for that new show on abc, Day Break? Is it just me, or does Groundhog Day-comedy=Day Break ?

6. Mrs. Chicky has a Love Fest going on at her blog and you have until November 3rd to get in on it, so go check it out! She promises if you are particularly afraid of "love" you can just tell someone, "gee, I think that I really like you".

7. A special message to my local PBS station--no, Barney is not just as good as Mr. Rogers and randomly playing Barney during the Mr. Rogers time slot is not only unacceptable, it affects my entire day. I know that I already called you and complained (you will remember me as the woman with the loud three year old in the background shouting "no purple dinosaur-just Mr. Rogers!") but this is just a further reminder that if you do this to me again tomorrow, I will have to bring her to your station to let her complain to you in person!......and yes, that is a threat!!

8. In keeping with Mrs. Chicky's Love Fest, I have to direct you to go visit Hello Insomnia: The Devil Wears Target. I found her this week and have been feeling that "gee, I think that I really like you" feeling ever since.

9. Katarina just walked in the room and asked me what I am doing. I told her that I need to make a list of thirteen things, and asked her if she had a suggestion for one of my things. She said, "Yes, you need to tell say 25." So............25!

10. After spending six hours at the fair last night do I even need to say how sore my feet and back are?

11. There is this little girl at church that Katarina just loves. Let's give her the pretend name Sea. Sea is a few years older than Katarina and kind of spoiled and snobby. Sometimes she is super sweet to Katarina and plays with her and asks to come to our house.....but sometimes she is just not interested in Katarina at all. Like the other night when we ran into her and her family somewhere and Katarina ran up to her all excited to see her and Sea barely even looked at her and wouldn't talk to her. I just wanted to slap the kid!! The pattern seems to be that when no one else is around Sea will be her friend, but if we are in a public spot or around other kids, then she doesn't want anything to do with her. Thomas and I were talking to Katarina about it afterward and she said, "Sometimes when I see Sea, she won't talk to me and it hurts my feelings" I hate that at three years old she is already experiencing getting her feelings hurt like that.

12. I haven't watched soap operas in years, I did watch them when I was a kid. My mom was a big General Hospital-Luke and Laura fan. They left the show for years, and then when I was a kid they brought them back. My mom started taping the show and watching it again after that. Eventually I guess Laura left or got killed or in a coma or some other soap operaish means of eliminating a character. But all this week I have been seeing the commercials:
"This Thursday Genie Francis (Laura Spencer) returns to General Hospital".........It almost makes me want to watch, but I am going to be strong and resist the temptation. Now my mom on the other hand, she might just be pulling out the old VCR again!

13. Is it just me, or does Milena Govich the new female detective on Law and Order look suprisingly like Christy Romano from that old Disney show Even Stevens?
